PicketPost

The first hike of 2021 is here. It’s an area I’ve passed countless times over the last 20 years, but one that I’ve only stopped at once before, and that was only for a few minutes. The imposing and foreboding PicketPost mountain. I arrive just as the sun was peaking over the horizon, and it looked as though Zeus himself was sitting on his throne at the top. One can try to summit this mountain,…

Picketpost Mountain - Feb 2015

Our trip to Picketpost Mountain in Superior, Arizona was one of my favorites to date. It began with another early morning drive out to the small mining town of Superior to grab a camping spot and set up our tents before heading back to tackle the peak. Picketpost stands 4,377 feet tall and is about a 4 mile round trip hike with 2,200 foot elevation gain. We started the morning off following the wrong trail for a few hours before we decided to turn around, turning our 4 mile hike into a about a 10 mile hike. The infamous mailbox at the top was placed by a hiker in 1994 who brought it all the way from his home in Lynden, WA (of all places). He wanted to relocate the mailbox somewhere safe where it would no longer be vandalized or run over by various vehicles at the end of his driveway. The mailbox is full of years worth of notes and log books from past hikers. Next to the mailbox is a bench that someone hauled up in pieces and welded together. Amazing hike with amazing views. Sunday morning on our way back to Phoenix we stopped at the Arizona Renaissance Festival, those pictures coming soon!
